“When you love this country, you fight for the people who make it work. That’s how I’ve always done this job, why I’m running for reelection, and why I’m grateful to have Ohio workers by my side,” said Sherrod. “Whether it’s standing up to Wall Street to save the pensions of 100,000 Ohio workers, always standing against bad trade deals that ship Ohio jobs overseas, or fighting to ensure Ohio remains at the forefront of the manufacturing industry, Ohioans know I’ll work with anyone when it’s right for Ohio and stand up to anyone who gets in the way.”
“Sherrod is investing in the next generation of Ohio workers and is fighting to create a path to the middle class for all Ohioans,” said Ohio State Building and Construction Trades Executive Secretary Mike Knisley. “The Building Trades know that Sherrod will stand up to anyone when it’s right for us. Under his leadership, the lives of Ohioans are undeniably better.”
“I can confidently say the choice for Senate in Ohio is crystal clear. Sherrod has consistently stood by Ohio workers, and I’ve had the privilege of witnessing his steadfast dedication firsthand,” said Ohio AFL-CIO President Tim Burga. “The Dignity of Work is more than just a slogan for Sherrod, it’s how he wakes up and does his job every day.”
“Sherrod fights for workers in Lima and throughout the state because he understands that ALL work has dignity, no matter who you are, where you live, or what you do. His record speaks for itself: from standing with us on the picket lines for better wages and benefits to standing up to his own party to prevent bad trade deals that hurt Ohio workers, Sherrod has always stood on our side,” said Lima UA Local 776 Business Manager Brad Wendel.
Ohio workers are backing Sherrod because of his record of delivering for working families and fighting for the Dignity of Work, the belief that hard work should pay off for everyone. While Sherrod fights for Ohioans, Bernie Moreno has made it clear he only looks out for himself – from “stiffing” his workers out of the overtime they earned and deliberately shredding documents a judge ordered him to keep to get away with it to selling the Chinese-made Buick Envision which “shipped [Ohio jobs] overseas.”
